People with a better memory can correct me on any erroneous details, but this was Vince's adieu to the board, but directed specifically at me under my previous user name (Hookworm). He was boasting about being a free thinker but then went on about how the New World was filled with ignorant savages until Europeans came and brought light to their cavelike brains. The first paragraph was him quoting me calling him on his bullshit. Unfortunately the board's server melted down not long after that, so we've lost all his wonderful contributions, but someone (Ratty would be a good bet) rescued that last post via Google's automatic archiving system.

In 1996, the MLB All-Star game was held in Philadelphia. The network broadcasting the game set up a bowling match between Williams and Carter at Williams' own lanes. Before the match Williams jokingly stated that Carter had no chance to win because Williams played every day. Williams did not know that Carter had been a talented bowler growing up. Carter got to the bowling alley and on his first warm up roll took a couple steps, spun around 180 degrees and rolled the ball between his legs, backwards, for a strike. Carter won the match handily.

All it needed was Schilling watching the match with a towel over his head.

That's the real answer, but the cover story was that CK said the other guy (it wasn't rcs; I think the guy's handle was robberdub) libelled him during the argument and that this would negatively affect CK's earning potential. Something like that. It was crazier than the squirrels running loose in CK's head.
